We are a train family too. Grandpa Rushford worked every line from New York to Montana. He was a roadmaster for the Oregon Short Line on the track between Salt Lake and Great Falls during the years before he died; run over by a train, decapitating him. We suspect he was down watching his track when something from the train hit nim and knocked him under the wheels. When I was a kid, we used to take the Sacramento Daylight to LA to see my mom's family every summer. Those were the days of great dining on China and white linen tablecloths. Still take the train down to Paso Robles once in a while to see our daughter. Great way to travel.
